you know I do NOT watch Miss America, but it goes to show where America has gone, it's sad !!

I wonder what people said about American culture when bikinis transitioned from the 1930's to what we have today. I'm sure a lot of comments were related to our culture going in the wrong direction, questioning morality, lack of decency, etc. I'm sure some saw conservative values fading away and being replaced by liberalism (not in a political sense).

If you think about it, it makes sense why these groups (i.e. feminist, SJW) want to make these changes which is to put more emphasis on the character rather than physical appearance.

However, this doesn't make good television (in my opinion), but at least it is in line with what they are pushing for whether you agree with them or not.

Who knows. I don't watch pageants. If I ever watched a piece of one, I enjoyed admiring BEAUTIFUL women on TV.

I would have to assume by simple deductive reasoning and a pair of functioning eyeballs that these "Pageants" serve no other purpose than exploiting the physical appearance of women. Does anyone think that you have to be smoking hot as a woman to have character, intelligence, and morality? I am sure that there are plenty of women who surpass all contestants in this arena they just are not commercially viable for the pageants purpose. Conclusion being if you are judging these women based on appearance, which they are then taking away the bathing suit contest is contradictory to the purpose of said pageant. Please note there are no unattractive, obese, or disfigured contestants. Sort of like entering a best of car show but you can not check the engine or trunk compartment to provide a winner.

True..

Next: Bodybuilding competitions. The contestants are going to wear a 3 piece suit as men shouldn't be judged by their appearance. We are more than just a bunch of knuckle heads that can lift weights and flex our biceps.

It's a beauty pageant - or at least was. To say that it isn't about looks is deny the truth. My impression is that here is a lot of denial these days.

When I was a kid we used to watch the Miss America pageant. It had nothing to do with looks or talent. It was that my dad was about 90% accurate in predicting who would win. He was amazing. He seemed to know which girl had what the judges were looking for.

"Well, nothing bad can happen now."

today young women are so much more outgoing, many seem to>, and do lack all feminine qualities, it's very noticeable.. I've been around a while, so I like a women that acts like a women "feminine",, if the show is done correctly it may work..
